ITunes HD movie purchases

Hi
I dind't know that by default iTunes store is set to download HD movies at 720p, I've now changed it to 1080p. If I've purchased HD movies how do redownload them again in 1080p?
Thanks

You can get the 1080 downloads by going to your purchases section in iTunes. Since you now have iTunes set to download 1080 content, going to purchases in iTunes will now show you a download button for past purchases that are available in 1080. Download them and they will now play in 1080. Just make sure that you go to preferences in iTunes and under playback, you have 1080 set there as well.

My MacBook Pro iTunes movie purchase is not showing in iTunes store movie purchases nor does it show on my iPad or Apple TV. Can someone please help me with a solution? Thanks.

First of all, I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Sometimes, I use a VPN to search on the web here. I purchased Toy Story 3 on my MacBook Pro 2011 OS/X - Lion through iTunes. I initially had trouble downloading it which may be due to being on and off the VPN but after a while it finally downloaded and shows up in my iTunes library on my MacBook.
Under my Apple ID account (which is the only Apple ID account I have), I look under purchase history and it shows that I paid for Toy Story which is where I got my Order # from. But if you go to the iTunes Store then to the Quick Links then click on Purchased, under all my Movies, it does NOT show Toy Story 3 as one of my movies.
Now when I go to my iPad (3rd gen.), Toy Story 3 does not show up under purchased movies (all or not on my iPad). It does not show up on my Apple TV as well. If I want to have Toy Story 3 on my iPad or Apple TV, then it says I have to purchase it again.
I have searched for help via Apple support communities but so far none of their solutions have worked for me. I have tried logging off iTunes & App Store on iPad and also shutting down the iPad. I also made sure that under iTunes Preferences>Store that iTunes in the Clouds purchases is checked. Can someone please help me with this? Your consideration is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

All of a sudden my itunes tv/movie purchases are not playing on my air?

Hi all,
I used to be able to watch show/movies I purchased from itunes on my MacBook Air but all of sudden I have started to have issues.
When I download something and press play all I get is a green screen.
I have tried different shows and nothing seems to work.
Help
Thanks!

Same issue for me playing purchased TV shows from iTunes on MacBook Air.
I found this on another blog:
"power down your machine and do a hard reset on the video card. hit the power button wait for the ping sound then hold down COMMAND OPTION R AND P keys all at the same time till you hear a ping again and release. This should fix the problem."
This works. 100% works.
Cheers.

ITunes Store Movie Purchase Play Immediately ?

I bought a movie from the iTunes Store and it said it was going to take about an hour to download. After 10 minutes I tried and could play it in iTunes on my computer but I could not get it to show up on Apple TV until the whole movie had been downloaded. Should I have been able to start watching the movie on Apple TV while it was still downloading ?
I tried disconnecting from Apple TV, quitting and restarting iTunes, etc. but it would not show up on Apple TV until it was completely downloaded.

Jeff,
You're correct. You can play the movie in iTunes while it's downloading, but not in Apple TV. I sure hope the next software release allows for this feature.
Kind Regards,
Julian

Itunes first movie purchase on new computer

i am trying to buy a movie on itunes for the first time on this computer but it is asking me security questions that i have never answed before ( my best friend in highschool and favorite movie star) to be able to download the movie. plus i aswered them with the answers that would be thereand it di not work. please help

When you moved iTunes to the new computer did you copy the whole iTunes folder or just the iTunes Music folder? If you only copied the music folder then you've left the library file behind and iTunes has created a new blank one. You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
If you did copy the whole iTunes folder then you need to locate the original library file. Presuming you put everything in the default location, try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
If you can't locate the library (if you've left it behind and no longer have access to the old computer for example), you'll have to make a new one by going to File>Add Folder to Library and adding the music from the iTunes Music folder that you did move.

ATV iTunes store movie downloads vanished

Having searched for related topics and come up empty, I am posting a new thread concerning iTunes store movies purchased directly to and lost from my ATV (disclaimer: in searching for related topics, almost all of my key words showed up results of "0", so I am suspicious that the support site is wonky ... I had to scan for related topics and tired of it before finding anything close). I have the iTunes receipts, so I am sure that I "purchased" the movies and did not "rent" by accident. Both movies have vanished from my ATV, without having been watched. They also do not appear on any of my other computers iTunes libraries. I did verify that they were purchased and were listed with a movie downloaded from my desktop computer to ATV, which is still present on my ATV. Just the two movies purchased through iTunes directly to my ATV are lost.
Having read Winston Churchill's post on ATV not being a back up device, I am wondering if the ATV has problems with retaining content. If it is not able to reliably store files, is it in fact just an expensive "chord" linking my computer to a tv? (Winston Churchill refers to the ATV as an "iTunes extender", not a stand alone device ... could have sworn my ATV is "standing alone").
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
ATV and computers running latest iTunes and ATV software.

Hey Chris,
just wondering where you got this information from (how the iTunes movies are formatted/encoded)? is there an apple technical document that gives the specs for the iTunes movies? has Apple released this information? if so where (could you possibly include a link?), and if not, how do you know it? i'm encoding some of the DVDs that i own to put on my ipod using handbrake. Does this mean that if i set my handbrake average bitrate to 1500 kbps (and the format to MPEG-4) that i will be importing them at the same quality as the movies on iTunes? thanx very much!

I've got a new IMAC, but i don't have all my music or movie purchase on it. I just recently updated iTunes. How do I get my purchases back?

Ive got a new iMac and now that i updated iTunes I do not have all my music and movie purchases. How can I get it all back?. I used to have it before update

It doesn't magically transfer itself, you have to do it. Purchase may present themselves for re-downloading but things such as CD are only on the old machine or on the CD.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder. If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends, "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases.

How can I play an HD movie purchased from Itunes on my TV using HDMI connection?

I would like to know how i can play movies purchased in Itunes on my TV using the HDMI cable? When I try playing HD movies from Itunes I can't play them. I get the following error:
"To play in HD, you must have a computer with a built in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP".
I used to be able to play them before but not anymore. Not sure why. Maybe it's due to the new update. Is there a fix?
Thanks,

Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.

You can't. The apps must be purchased separately.

How do you transfer movies purchased on iTunes to watch through USB on TV.

Hi,
I was wanting to purchase new release movies from iTunes instead of buying them on DVD from retail store. I was wanting to transfer some of them to a USB so my daughters can watch them on their tv as well but for some reason the coding won't allow it. I don't want to do anything illegal just watching the movie I purchased on another tv. I don't have Apple TV and not wanting to purchase one at the moment either.
Thank you for your help

iTunes movies are DRM protected and have to be played back with an Apple device. I presume the same applies to any legal online movie purchase as this is something the media companies likely determine. If they want to play it back on their TV and you do not have streaming capability then you'll have to go with a DVD player.

How do I get movies purchased on Apple TV to download to my iTunes library?

Using iTunes 10.7 on my iMac where my main iTunes library is located. I have a couple of Apple TVs with the latest updates. When I purchase a movie on Apple TV, what is the easiest way to get it to download to my iMac? It seems that it is much easier to purchase movies on my iMac and then they show up in the library for that computer on my Apple TV - but you have to wait for the movie to complete the download before you can watch it - sometimes inconvenient.
So, following a purchase of a movie on my Apple TV what is the easiest way to download that purchased move to my iTunes library so I can also watch it on the computer or my iOS devices?
SOLVED: Looked at post labeled "Movie purchases in iCloud" and received my answer. Movie now downloading into my iTunes library.

Thanks - I understand this in principle - but still think it should be up to the user.
If my Apple TV glitches and I lose a bunch of tv shows, its not the end of the world.
If I have no room on my computer for a large powerpoint presentation for work because my hard drive is full of Simpson episodes, it is.
Not giving the user the option not to have gig upon gigs sent to his computer is very.... well, Gatesian.

How do I access my iCloud content? Specifically movies purchased in itunes.

How do I access my iCloud content? Specifically movies purchased in itunes. I have multiple Apple devices, one itunes account, one cloud...purchased upgraded storage. The iCloud page on Apple website states that movies purchased in itumes are automatically transferred to the cloud. I can't find the movies unless I sync my devices via a cord. I am interested in purchasing Apple TV but want to make sure I will be able to access movies purchased.

Movies are not stored in icloud. They are on the cloud - yes, but what Apple means, is that you can redownload the movies via the iTunes Store, where all movies are stored (the itunes cloud).

For itunes 11: movie that are not purchased via itunes are loaded into and catagorized as "home videos". I want all of my movies in one spot under Movies as they always were. How can i tweak this?

You can select all the movies you want and change them at once.
